Close Call As Volcano Explodes Just Meters Away From Expedition Leader

A dare devil, volcano expedition leader, had a close call when a volcano explodes just metres away from him.

Geoff Mackley, 51, who describes himself as a ‘professional idiot’ had gotten close to the crater of the Yasur Volcano, in Vanatu, an island off the coast of Australia, when the a mini explosion took place. Geoff said: “I was setting the Go Pro up in case there was an explosion.

“I knew that eventually there would be an explosion, the ground shook and a shock wave hits one second before. I was inside the danger zone setting up a Go Pro when the big explosion happened.”
